This poster was created for a special guest speaker event for Autodesk. It features Canadian artist and author, Douglas Coupland. To promote this design lecture event, Coupland’s head is depicted opening to reveal the mind inside.
The subject matter of Coupland’s head is a nod to his own work in bust sculptures. Similarly, bright colours are used to tie this artwork back to Coupland’s. The Andy-Warhol-meets-1990’s-MTV screen-print and illustration style used recognizes Coupland as a modern day pop-culture icon.
The custom brain typography was hand drawn. If you look closely, the typography makes up the two sides of the brain. However, the differences in the two sides are extremely subtle to ensure clear legibility of his name, in the correct order.
